Online Therapy in Ontario

Get support that meets you where you are, no commute required.

Whether you’re navigating a busy workday, caring for a child, or simply prefer the comfort of your own home, online therapy can help you access the support you need. On your terms.

What Is Online Therapy?

Online therapy (also known as virtual counselling or e-counselling) allows you to meet with a licensed therapist via secure video from anywhere in Ontario. At Vaughan Relationship Centre, we offer high-quality individual counselling, couples therapy, and family counselling services in a flexible and confidential online format.

Sessions are conducted via a secure, encrypted platform and are just as focused, supportive, and personalized as in-person therapy.

What Makes Our Online Counselling Unique?

We’re not just offering therapy—we’re offering connection, clarity, and a path forward, no matter where you are.

Here’s why clients across Ontario choose online sessions with our team:

  • Access specialized couples therapists, sex therapists, and family counsellors—even if you live in a remote area
  • Save time and skip the commute, whether you’re in Toronto, Ottawa, or anywhere else in Ontario
  • Fit therapy into your life—even on lunch breaks, travel days, or after the kids are asleep
  • Option to switch between in-person and online therapy, so you can keep your progress going even when life gets busy
  • Maintain complete privacy with access to counsellors online who don’t live in your local area

Frequently Asked Questions About In-Person Counselling

Is online therapy effective?
Yes! Research shows online therapy can be just as effective as in-person counselling for many concerns, especially when conducted over video with a trained, licensed therapist.

Can I do couples therapy virtually?
Absolutely. Many of our couples therapy individual sessions and joint sessions are conducted online. It’s especially helpful if one or both partners travel or work long hours.

What do I need for online therapy?
Just a stable internet connection, a device with a camera and microphone, and a quiet, private space. We’ll walk you through the tech.

Is online counselling covered by insurance?
Most insurance providers in Ontario cover virtual sessions. Let us know if you have a preferred format for your receipt.

Can I do a mix of online and in-person therapy?
